Isaiah 29

1 woe! Ariel Ariel town to camp David to add year upon year feast to surround

Woe to Ariel. Ariel, the city where David camped. Add year to year; let the feasts come around;

2 and to press to/for Ariel and to be mourning and lamentation and to be to/for me like/as Ariel

then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.

3 and to camp like/as circle upon you and to confine upon you entrenchment and to arise: raise upon you fortress

And I will camp in a circle around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.

4 and to abase from land: country/planet to speak: speak and from dust to bow word your and to be like/as medium from land: soil voice your and from dust word your to whisper

You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.

5 and to be like/as dust thin crowd be a stranger your and like/as chaff to pass crowd ruthless and to be to/for suddenness suddenly

But the multitude of your arrogant will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.

6 from from with LORD Hosts to reckon: visit in/on/with thunder and in/on/with quaking and voice: sound great: large whirlwind and tempest and flame fire to eat

She will be visited by the LORD of hosts with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.

7 and to be like/as dream vision night crowd all [the] nation [the] to serve upon Ariel and all to serve her and stronghold her and [the] to press to/for her

The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.

8 and to be like/as as which to dream [the] hungry and behold to eat and to awake and worthless soul: appetite his and like/as as which to dream [the] thirsty and behold to drink and to awake and behold faint and soul: appetite his to rush so to be crowd all [the] nation [the] to serve upon mountain: mount Zion

It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and look, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn't satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and look, he drinks; but he awakes, and look, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.

9 to delay and to astounded to smear and to smear be drunk and not wine to shake and not strong drink

Pause and wonder. Blind yourselves and be blind. They are drunk, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

10 for to pour upon you LORD spirit deep sleep and to shut eyes [obj] eye your [obj] [the] prophet and [obj] head your [the] seer to cover

For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes (the prophets), and he has covered your heads (the seers).

11 and to be to/for you vision [the] all like/as word [the] scroll: book [the] to seal which to give: give [obj] him to(wards) to know (scroll: book *QK) to/for to say to call: read out please this and to say not be able for to seal he/she/it

All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, "Read this, please;" and he says, "I can't, for it is sealed:"

12 and to give: give [the] scroll: book upon which not to know scroll: read to/for to say to call: read out please this and to say not to know scroll: read

and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, "Read this, please;" and he says, "I can't read."

13 and to say Lord because for to approach: approach [the] people [the] this in/on/with lip his and in/on/with lips his to honor: honour me and heart his to remove from me and to be fear their [obj] me commandment human to learn: teach

And the LORD said, "Because these people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me. And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.

14 to/for so look! I to add: again to/for to wonder [obj] [the] people [the] this to wonder and wonder and to perish wisdom wise his and understanding to understand him to hide

Therefore, look, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."

15 woe! [the] be deep from LORD to/for to hide counsel and to be in/on/with darkness deed their and to say who? to see: see us and who? to know us

Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from the LORD, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, "Who sees us?" and "Who knows us?"

16 perversity your if: surely no like/as clay [the] to form: potter to devise: think for to say deed: work to/for to make him not to make me and intention to say to/for to form: formed him not to understand

You turn things upside down. Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it, "He did not make me;" or the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding?"

17 not still little little and to return: return Lebanon to/for plantation and [the] plantation to/for wood to devise: think

Isn't it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?

18 and to hear: hear in/on/with day [the] he/she/it [the] deaf word scroll: book and from darkness and from darkness eye blind to see: see

In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.

19 and to add: again poor in/on/with LORD joy and needy man in/on/with holy Israel to rejoice

The humble also will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among humankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

20 for to end ruthless and to end: finish to mock and to cut: eliminate all to watch evil: wickedness

For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off—

21 to sin man in/on/with word and to/for to rebuke in/on/with gate to lure [emph?] and to stretch in/on/with formlessness righteous

who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for the arbiter in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.

22 to/for so thus to say LORD to(wards) house: household Jacob which to ransom [obj] Abraham not now be ashamed Jacob and not now face his to pale

Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.

23 for in/on/with to see: see he youth his deed: work hand my in/on/with entrails: among his to consecrate: consecate name my and to consecrate: consecate [obj] holy Jacob and [obj] God Israel to tremble

But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.

24 and to know to go astray spirit understanding and to grumble to learn: learn teaching

They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction."
